A normal user's look into the world of 3D Stereo Technologies

The 3D Film Festival (3DFF) is currently launching its season four program entitled “3DFF Forever”, together with a 30 city tour, that kicks off this September 22nd through 25th 2011 in the Sunset + Vine District of Hollywood. With more than 40 events in 4 days, and spread out over 5 city blocks, 3DFF Hollywood is the world’s first and largest 3D festival and market. The 3DFF touring initiative will announce its new shows this September with tour stops planned primarily in the United States, Europe, and Asia from September 2011 to June 2012, with a closing night gala planned at the Cannes Film Festival.

DogVille 3D Film Festival of Stereo 3D Short films (Former FICS-3D) will be the first international independent Short Film Festival of videos made with 3D Digital Stereo technology ever carried out in Spain. It will take place in the town of Viladecans, Barcelona on the 15th and 16th of April 2011. This festival, organized by AEI DIFIS-3D, will be an opportunity to get to know the works in digital video in 3D Stereo format of amateurs, professionals and producers. The event will also generate discussion and it will be a chance to update the existing knowledge among experts in the media arts of 3D.

Being a first festival of reference in this area it has obtained the support of 3Dintegral SL, LA SALLE-URL, TV3, the Eurostereofoundation and the Stéréo Club Français. These are institutions with extensive experience in organizing international events in the audiovisual and technology world. In addition to the screening of the selected short films, along with the contest, there will be a free exhibition, round tables, workshops and conferences in which 3D professionals will find a space to showcase their technological innovations in the new world of three-dimensional technology.

Participation and submission of short films to the Festival is open to any individual or group of amateurs and professionals who independently make short videos in digital 3D Stereo format. The three categories accepted for the festival are: 3D Professional short film, 3D Amateur short film and S-3D Animation short film. The type of the short video is not limited, so it can be a reportage, fiction, animation, experimental, documentary or another genre or type of video. The festival is open for international entries, so if you are a stereo 3D content creator yourself, then you might as well check out the additional information you need to participate.

I’m a bit late with this one, but there is still time for you to plan a visit to the International 3D Stereo Film and Technology Festival – 3D Stereo Media, that is going to be held from 30th November till 3rd December 2009 in Liège, Belgium. The festival is for both professionals in the Stereo 3D field, but also for the general public, so that everyone interested in the various forms of 3D stereo, in particular 3D cinema, 3D television, and 3D games is welcome to join in. During the festival there will be screening of various 3D movies and exhibitions for different Stereo 3D technologies and solutions and meet a lot of professionals in the field. So if you are in Europe you might as well plan the festival in your busy schedule… ;)

The 3D Stereo MEDIA 2009 is divided into two strands:
– A 3D Stereo Film Festival, which will take place in the Kinepolis cinema complexes in Liège,
Brussels and Antwerp between 30 November and 3 December 2009
– A 3D Stereo Technology Festival, which will take place at the Palais des Congrès in Liège
from 1 to December 2009.
